I'm a new dad still finding my feet - our daughter was born on Wednesday - and we're learning fast. Things are going well and I'm surprised by how well we're managing so far. Modern technology is a huge help.
Considering the wonders of the modern world, though, what's baffling me is the design of baby clothes. I really don't get it. Narrow, fiddly sleeves; narrow trousery things; fiddly poppers. And multiple layers.
Most baby clothes seem to be miniaturised adult versions with poppers and a bit of added cuteness. I just don't get the point in (narrow) sleeves, and even less so in trousery things on onesies as the little mite keeps pulling her legs up and out of them anyway. And all the layers just seem to create work, especially when she wees mid nappy change and everything gets wet.
I get that with practise it'll all become easier - seeing the nurses and midwives in action at the hospital was amazing. But does anyone know of any sensibly priced easy-on clothes?
A bit of googling has found some interesting ideas in the US but they're not cheap and I hate ordering stuff from the States as the taxes are a faff.
